I am not going to lie, we don’t finish all of the activities every year-we extend into fall, but it is a great way to stay motivated with family fun! The kids won’t forget about the chart-believe me! So be careful what you choose:) For family home evening, we sit down as a family & brainstorm some fun ideas & activities to do together over the summer. Remember that these summer activities can be easy and free, like a backyard swim party, a picnic at the park, ice cream or snow cones together, a trip to the library, a family movie night, or a backyard camp out. I shared some of our Summer Fun Ideas last year.

I feel like this chart helps strengthen our family and reminds me to enjoy the summer with my kids:)

Here is a sample of the new and improved 2012 Summer Fun Chart! I am loving yellow, blue and STRIPES!

Love it! I am so doing this even though I know what you mean about being careful what you choose. I have to pick things that are actually going to happen or they will drive me nuts about it until they do :). On our list:

Hello! Absolutely loving this idea! Will definitely be taking advantage of it this summer! I would also love a copy without the numbering if at all possible. Also, I love the idea of the matching journal- is there a printable journal cover for 2012 as well?
Thanks so much for your inspiration!

So I printed this chart (LOVE!) at costco in the 16×20 and the top portion totally got chopped off – I even uploaded in the high res. Any suggestions? I’m trying to edit on Picasa but no luck to get the size right. HELP!
